KASEY CHAMBERS & MORE HOLIDAY PICS

It is after midnight and i am on a hight, not ready for bed yet. Have not long got home from the Kasey Chambers concert in Newcastle. I just love Kasey's music and think she is a gorgeous person in that she is sooo 'down to earth'. Had a great time!
Back to the holiday pics .... We left the Mornington Peninsular are and went by ferry (with our car & van) across the water from Sorrento to Queenscliff where we headed to start our journey of The Great Ocean Road. What a beautiful part of Australia! We visited the lighthouse at Split Point which is where the children's TV series "Around the
Twist" was filmed, we did a drive by the famous Bells Beach (just looked like any other beach to me!) and went through to Apollo Bay where we stayed for a few days. Very pretty little town situated on the Coast of the GOR but also a very windy place, or at least it was when we were there ... nearly lost the roof on our caravan on the last night and had to do the emergency bale out thing into a cabin at 11.30 at night ... now that's another story!#?@!!
The Twelve Apostles (or however many of them there are left) are just a magnificent piece of scenery. They postcard picture perfect (does that
make sense??)! We also done a
helicopter flight from here and flew over the apostles and along the coast (Loch Ard Gorge, London Bridge, The Arch etc. etc.) From the air it is quite an amazing sight. The rock formation has such a perfect shape from the erosion that it looks like is has been cut out with a craft saw!
The photo of Blake at the water was taken at Loch Ard Gorge (named after the famous shipwreck & it's history). We climbed down the stairs and walked along the sand ... for me this was a very surreal feeling and just all so very pretty.
Whilst in the area we also visited 'The Otway Fly'. This is a huge metal boardwalk that spans for metres & metres through the tree tops and The Otway National Park. Obviously you are very high up (i think the tallest point at the tower is about 50mtrs) which is quite unique to be up in the tree tops however I got a dose of vertigo cause the tree tops sway around but i felt like i was swaying on this boardwalk thingy and I was all a bit much. Anyway, it was still fun and the lunch we had there was yummy so all was good!
We also visited Cape Otway Lighthouse. This was great. This lighthouse is the oldest lighthouse in Australia. It's surrounding are beautiful and there are even old staff quarters and cottages that you can walk through and check out the different displays and relevant history. We climbed up to the top section, that was great ... very very windy up there but at least it didn't sway, i handled this one well!
The Great Ocean Road and all of the towns situated along the way is just lovely. The scenery is magnificent and it just a great experience. From here we visted Port Campbell and then went on to Warnambool for 3 days. This is a lovely place with lots to do & see. More pics in next blog.
Getting tired now, time for bed.
Talk soon, be good .... Julie x
